    Not sure if this is an Impala or Caprice. Interior looks ok except driver's seat. Has had motor work and paint I'm guessing.

    I'm confused by the tailgate....key looks like power gate but the gate has the chrome trim handle on top for the manual gates. Maybe the car has a donor gate from a manual car to replace a damaged gate at some point?

    Actually I have had a few manual gate cars that the gate dropped by turning the key and not the T bar style. My 71 Buick was that way

    Uh, could you please link to the Craigslist ad? What you have in the post doesn't work.

    Thanks. On subject of the car, I didn't notice this steering wheel at first:

    OK, to each his own but that would have to go if I got it. I like the car's dark red color and window tint (at least from the photos) but that steering wheel's not something I want to hold for 200+ mile rides.

    It looks like the car has massive tires on it too, I wouldn't keep them:

    Hey, look at the aging on the front bumper:

    The rear bumper's the same and the tailgate doesn't go up all the way:

    At least the finish looks like a dark cherry.

    Jaunty, do you see anything I missed?

    Its actually an Impala. The Caprice had woodgrain (unless it was deleted). On the inside, it lacks wood-grain accents on the drivers-side of the dash around the controls (Caprice had that) and it looks like it says "Impala" on the dash on the passenger side.
